Emosi which means ‘Emotion’ is our new therapeutic service developed here at Ellesmere Childrens Centre. Emosi believes that children should be supported and encouraged from their earliest foundations to be confident, resilient healthy holistic individuals. Developing emotional literacy which supports children to make the connections between actions and describe what they are feeling in simple words that have meaning for them. As a ‘Emosi’ coach our work is to regulate the effects of varying feelings, rather than a system of behaviour modification. All behaviours we feel are linked to communication and children vocalising their world. Emosi is a place to transition through developmental stages at their own pace, in a space to facilitate healthy, nurtured minds. Emosi recognises that children's home lives are strong influences on their learning and is central to ways of being, knowing and doing. Emosi coaches will work in partnership with families and can effectively utilise children's family and cultural knowledge in an educational context to enhance children learning.

What can it do to help your child?

At Emosi we will be using the following techniques to help understand your child and his or her development. Using the methods below which are most suitable for your child.

Are you looking for a place to hold a health, fitness or therapy class? Then why not book one of our newly refurbished rooms upstairs at the Centre? Spacious, quiet and warm, they are the perfect space for a wide range of workshops and activities.

We also have large rooms available that are perfect for holding birthday parties, celebration events and other social activities such as group meetings and draama rehearsals.

Ellesmere Children's Centre is currently going through a process of expansion and with a completion date of early October 2018 it means it will not be long before ECC is able to offer extra support and activities for parents as well as the facilities we offer for children currently.

We are looking to give back to the community by doing our bit and we hope this expansion can be the start of this.

Below is a list of what we will aim to offer on completion:

-Adult classes, English/maths,

-Extra children places

-Filial Therapy

If you have any questions or queries please feel free to come and visit our offices and the friendly staff will be able to advise you.

This year we entered the Sheffield Star Education Awards for the very first time and are absolutely delighted to let you know that we won! Ellesmere Children's Centre was nominated by several parents and supporters and what they all had to say blew the judges away.

In December 2014, the day before Christmas Eve! The centre had its latest Ofsted inspection. Management and staff were elated to find out in January 2015, that we had received the highest possible standard of Ofsted Outstanding. This is an amazing achievement. It makes Ellesmere the only registered, Early Years provider to have received this accolade in the local area.
